The following are testimonials from the recent VoiceWorx Workshop Batch 44 students:

"You'll definitely learn a lot like harnessing your voice, interpreting and executing, and mingling with others."

"When I entered, I was still finding my passion and it helped widen my view about art, the technology, and how the industry works."

"The experience was very comfortable and warm,"

"We can still improve but at least we know now how and what to practice."

"It's like a demonstration of how the industry works."

"Before I joined, I was really shy. It helped me come out of my shell, hide the shakiness in my voice, and improve my voice control."

"I used to do necessary things without loving them. At least now - especially since I'm not as young as the others - I'm doing what I love to do. The lessons were fun, enjoyable, and informative. The mentors were warm and friendly, as well as the class."

"We're one big family here."

"VoiceWorx is more than just a workshop. It's about using your voice, discovering potentials, exploring and expanding your capabilities, teaching you how to lose your shyness, boosting your self-confidence and self-esteem, and helping your voice come out."

"The most memorable part of VoiceWorx is the application of lessons, acting, voice acting, being made to force your emotions out, getting acquainted with the microphone, and role-playing as the talent, director, or the client."
